Nope, this breaks their automation as well. Facebook has basically removed posting ability to personal feeds from their API entirely.

This could literally be said about any other human endeavor. I mean, Comcast should be about improving society, but I don't see articles in the Guardian shaming them .

Your reasoning does seem sound. I'm sure there is plenty of data to that effect - and I'm equally sure that nobody outside Facebook has access to it. I think I might pony up $10 or $20 a month to know I was in control and to suppr

I believe I remember seeing that the average annual benefit to Facebook of a user is something like $9. I would personally be ecstatic to be given the opportunity to subscribe to Facebook in exchange for control over my data and an absence

Well, it wasn't the missile that caused their deaths. Strictly speaking, it was the explosion of the missile. Well, wait. It wasn't the explosion - technically, it was the impact of the pressure wave on their bodies that caused

And there are double-s words in German (like "Amtssicherheit", off the top of my head) that don't use a sharp S - it's not a ligature.

Actually, I did a few months ago. Found a twenty on my lawn. Then found more, blown up against the hedge - ended up being a total of $180, plus the bank withdrawal slip. We took it back to the bank to return to the owner. But it was neat, f

Or in fact, German kennen/wissen - it's not Germanic languages per se, but English, which developed from a simplified creole spoken by the Saxon conquerors of the Angles (they never bothered with all that conjugation stuff, and it

Just to clarify #2 - I read that as meaning that liquidity is a reason for banks to like the move away from physical cash. Why customers like it is clearly security, though, you're right.

If it makes you feel any better at all, we Americans are also treated like dirt for the disloyalty of leaving the country in the first place.

No. The fine print does not say that. The fine print says they can deny you boarding, not remove you once already boarded. Your point about the dark pattern is all too true, but United still behaved entirely illegally here.

Walmart has done incredible damage to the local economies of the Midwest - they've essentially eliminated small retailers over much of the country. It's true that they're simply part of an existing larger trend - but they

You know who's actually doing the most for sustainable local agriculture here? Walmart. It just plain freaks me out. But they have an angel fund to support local farmers, and preferentially deal with them. They're the only chain I
